Concept:

‘Headlies’ is a text and visual project that uses real newspaper headlines but the stories beneath them are fabricated and fictional. Newspapers often take sides and we, the reader, judge on humanity from its text and photograph. From the newspaper’s perspective, access to public information is a good thing but a newspaper’s function surely is to tell the society about itself and to be a pollinator of its information? Its role is to inform the citizens but as information gradually travels down, the citizens become ill-advised, ill-prepared and mis-informed.


Focus on other drugs.

OAP’s with several medical hindrances have been prescribed the drug Anasamethebia which apparently calms down the effects of aches and pains in bones. However, recent cases have shown that the drug taken for more than four months affects the brain’s hallucinogenic capabilities. One particular OAP, Mrs. Ramsden has been claiming that her husband often disguises as a small pet bird and is solving crimes in her local estate. “He’s a clever little s**t”, says Mrs. Ramsden, 94. Local police say that maybe she’s been watching too many of those detective programmes.
